If you start Firefox in safe mode will it show? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

Restarting it in safe mode did work, and it now works properly in both 3.6b2 and 3.7a1 after I chose reset toolbars in the safe mode dialog.  Disabling and reenabling the status bar also works again.

Thank you,

Sounds like on of your extensions caused this. Maybe a theme.

That sounds likely.  I can try to duplicate the bug at some point if that would be helpful, but I do not have time at the moment.

Please let me know if you want me to do that.

The only need to duplicate it would be to report to the developer of whatever extension caused it, cause we can't fix them.
